Go ahead and be honest: You landed here for a reason. Pornography is a universal interest and a booming business, something that pretty much everyone on the planet has some sort of experience with. It's no shock, then, that the subject has seen itself on the big (and small) screen over and over again. Sometimes movies about porn can be as sensuous and titillating as the real thing—especially since a handful of them have featured A-list actors willing to bravely bare all in front of the camera.
Movies about porn run the gamut from dark and gritty dramas, hijinks-heavy comedies, and documentaries about the entertainers themselves. Whatever your desire, here are a bunch of porn movies that perfectly sync great sex with great stories.
